This is a collection of my recipes. Many are quite old, and have been handed down through generations of my very Southern family. There are others that I have collected over decades of cooking. The purpose of this blog is to preserve and pass them on to the younger generations of my family, and to share with old and new friends. You are welcome and appreciated here.

Corned Beef with Cabbage, Leeks, Dutch Potatoes, and Carrots

I always make corned beef and cabbage on Saint Patrick's Day...I make it for my hubby, but I do not like it. ( Sorry about that, Irish ancestors.) This year I was determined to prepare it in a way that I would like...and eat. Well, I did it! This recipe was very tasty. I cooked it in my slow cooker, and that made it very easy. I will definitely make it again next year!

Instructions:
Rinse corned beef well, put in slow cooker. Put in 1/2 of seasoning in packet, bay leaf, whole cloves, salt and pepper. Add 1 carton of beef broth, and enough water to cover meat and vegetables. Cook on high about 1 1/2-2 hours, then add potatoes and cabbage, and cook until vegetables are done. Serve with Boar's Head horseradish sauce..or spicy mustard, if you prefer.

Sounds easy and delicious! I am making Corned Beef and Cabbage today so I will do it Your Way! Have a New York guest arriving today and will put this in the crockpot while preparing for his arrival! Thanks so much...this was just what I was looking for!

About Me

I am a wife, (married to my high school sweetheart for 50+ years) mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I began cooking when I was eleven years old. I enjoyed watching, and learning from, my Grandmother in her kitchen. After I married, I did the same to learn my husband's favorite dishes from his Mom and Dad. A lot of "a pinch of this, and a little of that" recipes. Many of those Southern recipes are on this blog. Cooking is fun, creative, and an expression of love for me. Good food makes
life even more fun!
This not a traditional step by step photo blog...but just a way to share recipes with family and friends.
